Melling® SA170 - Sleeve Assembly

Sleeve Assembly by Melling®. Melling sleeves are made from centrifugally cast, high strengthgray iron. It is a lower carbon iron alloyed with chromium, copper, and nickel to produce a harder (241-293 BHN) more wear resistant surface. The average tensile strength (45,000 - 50,000 p.s.i.) is 1/3 greater than regular iron sleeves and nearly all O.E.M. cylinder blocks. This proven sleeve material has been used successfully for years in heavy-duty diesel and performance engines to give longer life with less distortion and enhanced reliability. Their iron is compatible with all ring materials.
